Coming into this NBA season, we had just one question on our minds. No, it wasn't "Where will Chris Paul be traded"? Or, "Will Dwight Howard ask the Magic to move him"? Or even, "Can LeBron James finally win an NBA championship"? No, no. It was "How fuckin' awesome is Ron Artest's Metta World Peace jersey going to look?!" And over the weekend, we got our answer! Ron-Ron stepped out at the Lakers media day rocking his new jersey with "WORLD PEACE" spelled out across the back of it, and...wow. Just wow. An italicized wow. It's as good—no, wait—it's even better than we ever imagined it would be.
Merry Christmas to us. World Peace is the gift that's going to keep on giving all NBA season long.

It's a brilliant marketing ploy. This jersey will outsell all others this year.
